Abstract

Welded head studs are mainly used as shear connectors to bond steel girders and concrete slabs in steel-concrete composite bridges. For welded shear connectors, environmental problems include noise and scattering dust which are generated during the removal of damaged or aged slabs. Therefore, it is necessary to develop demountable shear connectors that can easily replace aged concrete slabs for efficient maintenance and thus for better management of environmental problems and life cycle costs. The buried nut method is commonly studied in relation to bolted shear connectors, but this method is not used in civil structures such as bridges due to low rigidity, low shear resistance, and increased initial slip. In this study, in order to mitigate these problems, a demountable bolted shear connector is proposed in which the buried nut is integrated into the stud column and has a tapered shape at the bottom of an enlarged column shank. To verify the performance of the proposed demountable stud bolts in terms of static shear strength and slip displacement, a horizontal shear test was conducted, with the performance outcomes compared to those of conventional welded studs. It was confirmed that the proposed demountable bolted shear connector is capable of excellent shear performance and that it satisfies the slip displacement and ductility design criteria, meaning that it is feasible as a replacement for existing welding studs.

강합성 교량에서 강 거더와 콘크리트 바닥판의 합성을 위한 전단연결재로는 용접접합 머리붙이 스터드가 주로 사용된다. 용접접합 전단연결재의 경우, 손상 또는 노후화된 바닥판 철거 시에 파쇄에 따른 소음, 비산먼지 등이 발생하여 환경적 문제가 지적되고 있다. 따라서 환경적 문제 및 생애주기비용 관점의 효율적인 유지관리를 위해서는 노후화된 콘크리트 바닥판의 교체가 용이한 분리식 전단연결재 개발이 필요하다. 기존의 볼트접합 전단연결재로는 매립너트 방식이 주로 연구되었으나 낮은 강성과 전단저항강도, 초기슬립 증가 등으로 교량과 같은 토목구조물에는 활용되지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점들을 개선하기 위해 매립너트 부분이 스터드 기둥에 일체화되고 확대 기둥 하단에 테이퍼진 형상을 갖는 분리식 볼트접합 전단연결재를 제안하였다. 제안된 분리식 스터드볼트의 정적 전단강도와 슬립 변위에 대한 성능 검증을 위해 수평전단실험을 수행하였고, 기존 용접접합 스터드와 성능을 비교하였다. 제안된 분리식 볼트접합 전단연결재가 전단성능이 매우 우수하고, 슬립변위 또한 연성설계기준을 만족함으로써 기존 용접 스터드를 충분히 대체하여 적용 가능함을 확인하였다.
